The new Toro 20-inch Recycler mower is more compact and better for smaller yards.

Topping its list of features is the Toro overhead valve (OHV) engine. This engine features an auto choke, no-prime starting system, eliminating the risk of flooding the engine, as well as 7.0 ft-lbs. of torque to process the thick grass and leaves. There’s a Variable Speed Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) model and an Electric Start RWD model with a Briggs & Stratton engine designed for easy starting, according to Toro.

This new mower’s 20-inch steel cutting deck features a 4-inch dome design that makes it a good mulcher. The deck is designed to cut and re-cut grass blades several times before depositing them back into the turf. The deck is narrow and lightweight, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Height of cut is easily adjusted (at each wheel) from 1 to 4 inches. The deck is 2-in-1 ready for mulching or rear bagging, and a side discharge chute can be added.

Toro backs the performance of these mowers with a three-year power train limited warranty on the transmission and engine, and a three-year Guaranteed To Start (GTS) full warranty. If your Toro mower doesn’t start on one or two pulls during its first three years, Toro will fix it for free. The entire mower is covered for a full two years. See retailer for warranty details.
